This personality-rich home is in West Vancouver, Canada, where ocean views meet the lush, dense landscape of the Pacific Northwest. “Designed for a growing family, the home was meant to feel collected rather than overly coordinated,” says Jenny Boutin of Ayume Concepts. “Each room has its own personality, tied together through architectural details, natural stone, layered textures, and bold moments of color.”

While the house is traditional at its core, the goal of the whole-home renovation was to make it feel expressive, eclectic, and distinctly personal. “It feels as though it evolved over time rather than being overly curated, giving it an identity that’s entirely its own,” the designer notes.

That approach is perhaps most evident in the two-tone living room, where shades of pink envelop the space. “It’s one of our favorite spaces in the home,” Jenny shares. “A dramatic granite fireplace serves as the focal point, complemented by decorative lighting, intricate mouldings, and textural finishes. The vaulted ceilings give the saturated palette room to breathe.”

The kitchen was completely reimagined to improve both function and flow. “We introduced faux beams and custom Swede cabinetry in a bespoke Farrow & Ball French Gray, paired with striking Calacatta Monet stone across the countertops and backsplash with a radius edge,” Jenny explains. “The burgundy range brings a pop of color, giving the otherwise soft palette a bit of edge.” Nearby, the dining room takes a lighter, more relaxed approach, with vaulted ceilings and an oversize pendant anchoring the space.

Elsewhere, color takes an even bolder turn. The bar features custom millwork by Swede in a rust-toned finish with fluted detailing. “The design is playful but polished, creating a functional space for entertaining,” she says. That same spirit carries into the “blue room,” an intimate TV lounge wrapped in color. “Dentil mouldings and high-gloss Farrow & Ball paint create an enveloping backdrop, while the clients’ collection of artwork from around the world takes center stage.”

In the powder room, the original footprint remained, but nearly everything else took a dramatic new direction. “Bronze grasscloth, black zellige, solid copper fixtures, and a tiger-striped velvet curtain make this tiny room moody, and unexpected,” Jenny shares.

The project took approximately six months from start to finish. “The clients were heavily involved throughout the design process, making the final result especially rewarding,” Jenny says. “Seeing every element come together into a home that genuinely reflected them was incredibly satisfying.”
